The boyed-up basketball girl barely moves. The others, her girls, step aside. It's okay if they don't speak. I know how it is. They can't all be Trina. Dominique: Some stupid little flit cuts right in between us and is like, "Hey." Like she don't see I'm here and all the space around me is mines. I slam my fist into my other hand because she's good as jumped. Leticia: Why would I get involved in Trina's life when I don't know for sure if I saw what I thought I saw? Who is to say I wasn't seeing it from the wrong angle? Acclaimed author Rita Williams-Garcia intertwines the lives of three very different teens in this fast-paced, gritty narrative about choices and the impact that even the most seemingly insignificant ones can have. Weaving in and out of the girls' perspectives, readers will find themselves not with one intimate portrayal but three. 4814340 1 3 2009 Jumped total:107|5:21|4:32|3:35|2:16|1:3| 107 373 225 53 4 0 false false Tue Mar 17 15:27:35 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 15:28:26 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Tue Mar 17 15:14:49 -0700 2009 Tue Mar 17 15:26:52 -0700 2009 more...]]> 4 0 false false Sun Feb 01 00:00:00 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 20 11:04:29 -0800 2009 Fri Feb 20 11:15:48 -0800 2009
